When I received the first transfer, I used most of it to buy a mattress becuase I had none before. The balance was used to buy clothes for my family and dry maize for my family's food because we had no food in the house.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a mattress thus I sleep so comfortably, unlike before when I used rags to sleep on.
